Bamako. Gunmen stormed a hotel hosting an EU military training mission in Mali’s capital on Monday, before one was killed by security guards, the government and a mission source said.
Four attackers stormed the hotel owned by Mali’s “Azalai” chain at around 1830 GMT, the EU mission source said, before they escaped under return fire from security guards.
“Four people tried to force their way through the barricade firing shots,” the European Union Training Mission-Mali (EUTM) source told AFP.
